Probably, every housewife would like the food she cooks to be appreciated – the desire to make her dishes tastier leads to experiments with familiar recipes.

For example, as the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova , said, some cooks add pickles to minced meat.

As a result, the cutlets they make are juicy and piquant – pickles give the cutlets a unique aroma, taste and juiciness.

To prepare a familiar dish using a new recipe, use the following ingredients:

  • 500 g minced meat,
  • 1 onion,
  • 2-3 pickled cucumbers,
  • Salt and pepper - to taste,
  • Breadcrumbs for breading and vegetable oil for frying.

The onion and pickles need to be chopped - for this you can use a grater with medium-sized holes, after which you need to add the resulting mixture to the minced meat.

Then you need to add salt and pepper to taste to the mixture for preparing cutlets, and also add other spices if you want.

It is important to take into account the degree of saltiness of the cucumbers – salt may not be needed at all.

Mix the minced meat well, form cutlets from it, roll them in breadcrumbs if desired and fry in vegetable oil.
